About this print
A few people are crossing the bridge. The railing runs a long way across, and beyond it stretches a Western-style building lined with windows. On top of the building stands a tower with green roofs stacked tier upon tier, and the sky is a pale orange. At the upper right are the letters KAIUN BASHI, and the red cartouche at the upper left carries the title "海運橋" (Kaiun Bridge).
In 1875, Kaiun Bridge (Kaiunbashi) was rebuilt as a stone arch bridge. On the left page of the same spread, Yoshiwara is depicted.
The tower's green roofs jut out widest at the bottom and grow smaller and narrower toward the top. Between each roof and the next is a band of white wall.
